Casa Madaio Caciocavallo Podolico Vetus

Italy

Caciocavallo Podolico Vetus is a traditional Italian cheese crafted from the milk of the rare Podolica cow, known for its rich milk and unique flavor profile. Originating from the southern regions of Italy, this cheese is steeped in centuries-old traditions and is often made during the summer months when the cows graze on wild herbs and grasses. The name 'Caciocavallo' translates to 'cheese on horseback,' referring to the traditional method of hanging the cheese in pairs. With a distinct character and a labor-intensive production process, this cheese represents the heart of Italian pastoral life.
